There are tiny homes and then there are giant potatoes...that are also tiny homes. For those of you who have dreamed of snuggling up inside a bowl of mashed potatoes (that's a thing, right?), the Idaho Potato Commission has gifted Airbnb with a six-ton potato hotel set on 400 acres of land.

Tragically, this is not an actual oversized potato, though tbh that would probably smell really bad. It's a 28-foot long structure made from steel, plaster, and concrete. It was made to celebrate the Idaho Potato Commission's 75th anniversary, the Detroit Free Press reports, and has been on the road for the last seven years. Once it was ready to stay put, Kristie Wolfe, a tiny home builder, turned it into a hotel of sorts that's now listed on Airbnb.

Despite looking like an actual potato on the outside, the inside is surprisingly chic. There are millennial pink chairs, house plants, an all-white queen-size bed, and even a fireplace. (There's air conditioning too, thankfully). There's no kitchen, so you might wanna bring snacks or plan to eat your meals in Boise, but there is a small bathroom with a wash bin situation, toilet, and sink. Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper are provided for each guest.

You and a friend can stay in the potato for $200 a night plus a $31 service fee and $16 in occupancy taxes and fees. It's booked through May, but there are plenty of open dates starting in June! To note, there is no WiFi or TV inside the potato, so consider this your own mini technology detox.
